How NOT To Get Big And Bulky

Well there’s different views on this subject. Some trainers say no it’s impossible for a woman to build huge muscle and some say they can.

I’ll be honest, they are both right. But I used to think that no women can’t get huge.

Building FREAKY muscle like this isn’t possible without some “drug enhancements”.

But after training hundreds of women I’ve found that yes, there are few times that women can get bulky in certain areas. Some women are more capable to build muscle in certain body parts. Thighs, shoulders, and arms tend to be the main areas.

Before I go any further, DON’T GET SCARED! Women don’t have enough testosterone to build FREAKISHLY huge muscle so unless you’re on a “chemical program” you won’t get huge! You can get bigger muscles but not cannonball type.

OK back to what I was saying. After training hundreds of women I found that yes some women can build muscle more than usual.

So here is what we do to counteract that:

Find your strong point– This doesn’t apply to most women, but if you feel you have a body part that is stronger or bigger than normal then cut down the work on that body part. (I’m talking about muscle wise, its different if its fat).

Stop following magazine workouts– A lot of the workouts on the magazines are “old school”. “Old school” meaning bodybuilding type workouts. Workouts that are high volume. Good news is a lot of magazines are starting to transition into interval type workouts but the majority haven’t.

Eat whats right for you– Yes you have to eat more than the normal person if you workout, but eating tons of food isn’t gonna help. Find the right foods and right amount every 3-4 hours. That doesn’t mean eat McDonald’s every 3-4 hours. Remember eat like a bodybuilder and you’ll look like one.

Use your body weight– Weights are great and I recommend all women use them. Honestly weights and body weight aren’t much different. They still stimulate the same muscle, but it’s more of a mental thing. Its easier to feel like you’re getting huge if you’re squatting with weights than if you’re using your own body weight.

Last thing is do interval training– Any form of high intensity interval training is GRRRRREAT! Studies show interval training helps women MELT the fat on their total body more quickly!

Short and simple, don’t be scared of lifting weights. Just be cautious of what you do! Train smarter not harder!
